Vernon Museum 2017-2018

Camp description: HCOS welcomes students to join us in taking a step back in time to learn
about:
Kindergarten - Gr 2: Pioneers in early Vernon (one session only). Students will be
taught by museum staff about the people of early Vernon, will explore
the printing press, and will discover artifacts in the museum through a
scavenger hunt.
Grades 3 - 7: will have two separate sessions. In session one, student
will be learning about the Syilx lifestyle, the local First Nations
people in the Vernon area, and will also explore the museum through a
scavenger hunt. In the second session, students will learn about the
Okanagan Fur Trade and Early contact. Students will play a fur-trading
game and will have many hands on artifacts that they can discover.
Also in the museum during this time is the Gold Mountain Dream Exhibit
which is about Chinese Immigration in the Okanagan. Parents and
children could explore this together in the museum after the guided
field trip tours.
